Your Top 10 PSOne RPGs

Legend of the Dragoon was pretty good, but to level up you either needed a boss fight or to kill 100000 enemies. Most the time though because of that, bosses were genuinely tough but still killable.

I cannot bring myself to finish Suikoden II. I got so bored, which sucks because any time it's the story being advanced, it's awesome. Every other time it's terrible and I can't bring myself to care. I'm at the part where I'm going to the Toran republic, due to the way you gain XP in such an insanely awesome fast manner, random battles always feel like a chore because two or three random battles means you'll be up to where you need to be. Yeah it's great for catching up characters, but once you hit that exponential curve (though it's a negative curve) for XP every battle is a trip to tedious boring and "God I just want to get to the next part" with no enjoyment.

I can't stand trying to find treasures because of this, and always feel like I'm missing stuff.

Vagrant Story is more of an RPG than SOTN.

But SOTN is most definitely not an RPG.

At all.

Gonna have to agree with that one.. speaking of I need to play through Vagrant Story as well I bought it from Yoshi but it's been on backlog.

Honestly, I couldn't get into Vagrant Story. It wasn't anything about the story or the character, I just couldn't get into the combat system or the constant dank settings. Caves, cellars, etc. I dunno, I gave it a try on 5 seperate occasions.

Breath of Fire III and IV were also pretty good, I liked seeing Capcom's detailed animations.

Gotta disagree on Xenosaga. Sure, it tended to ramble on a bit, and about half of the cutscenes could have been left on the floor. But on the whole, it was solid enough to make me want to continue the series.

Also, I loved BoF III and IV. I never played the PS2 sequel, but heard lots of bad things about it.

III was fun, though I got to the Oasis, got lost and said fuck this shit.

Shame too because I was really enjoying it.

Vagrant Story is a piece of trash and anyone who disagrees is flat out wrong.

Also: Grandia imo.

I read the Manga for Vaklyrie Profile, 12 chapters summarizing the main plot of the story. I don't feel the need to play the game, but I want to finish VP2.

Oh man, thanks for reminding me Thief. Valkyrie Profile probably takes the #1 slot for me. I can't believe I'd forget that.

Also Rich: Grandia was awesome. It had a lot of customization for a PS1 RPG at the time. You could spend hours leveling weapon and magic levels to gain skills and stats, etc.

PS1 Grandia is for noobs. Saturn Grandia is where it's at.

Vagrant Story is amazing.

Suikoden II is the best PS1 RPG. Anyone that tries to argue against this is trolling, and should be carded accordingly.
